Resounding notes of martial tame, Mix with the patriot's full acclaim, Without surcease ; While gentler strains the breezes bear On vernal wings, and everywhere Rises the sentiment and prayer, "Let us have Peace !" Enough that War's fell rage is spent, And freedom still survives secure ; Her statute loftier and unbent, Her strength increased, her vesture pure The fame his country well bestows Upon the chief who crushed her foes All climes increase ; But nobler rings o'er land and main, And nobler echoes back again, The manly, Christian, sweet refrain, There, from New England's busy mills ; From where the Mississippi flows ; From where the bursting cotton tills The golden airs with mimic snows ; From where the gleaming nuggets shine Close neighbors of the fruitful vine— They will not cease ; The countless voices raised to greet The soldier in the ruler's seat, The chorus ever to repeat, " Let us have Peace !" Lippincott's Magazine 110 W IT WAS DONE. Church Torrington was perhaps the greatest coward in the city of New York. Don't misunderstand us, gentle reader— physically speaking, our young hero was brave as Bayard, dauntless as Cuair de Lion. But it was where the fair sex were concerned that Mr. Torrington became a poltroon. A gentle glance from a pair of blue eyes was enough to throw him into a cold perspiration at any time. As one by one of the companions of his boyhood and early youth vanished out of tile path of batchelorhood and entered into the Promised Land of matrimony, Church Torrington viewed them with a not un envious mind. El Ell m 2, % Ls 5 8 —o, - m -; _ .. m " . g Si ''. 5 ~..• 4- 4 0 4 ;.,4 "Ilow the mischief did they ever mus ter up courage to do it?" was his inter nal reflection. And Harry Leslie, a wag of flirty, who always had a knack of finding out every body else's weak points, said: All of that set married except Church Torrington—and he'll be a bachelor all the days of his life, because he hasn't got courage to ask any girl to have him. I don't know though, either," he added re flectively. " Waft until Leap Year comes around again, there may be a chance for him then!" • Nevertheless, in the thee of all these obstacles, Church Torrington was in love. Miss Violet Purple was as pretty . and blooming a little lassie as ever tripped ' down the sunny side of Broadway, under threadlace parasol, on a June afternoon. She was very plump and rather small, ; with blue gray eyes, eyebrows like twin arches of jet, shining; chestnut hair, and a skin like white velvet, just finished with the softest pink on either dimpled cheek. And she. had a way of carrying her head piquantly onfone side, and spoke with the • slightest possible of lisps, and always wore a rose in her hair, and was altogether pre cisely the sort of a little girl a man's fancy would be apt to conjure up, when he thought of the gloom of his solitary home. Violet Purple was born to be married— you couldn't think of her as an old maid ; any more than you could think of straw berries without cream, or a satin slipper without a dainty foot to fit it—and when- ; ever she thought of the probability of that catastrophe, a face like the moustached ; physiognomy of Mr. Church Torrington outlines itself through the misty vapors of her day dream. But Mr. Church was so dreadfully bash ful—hie wouldn't propose—and poor little Violet was nearly at her wits' end, what to do in this dire perplexity. A girLof any delicacy can't very won ask a man to have her, and Violet had done everything else! *lie had smiled sweetlyon him gives him no end of rosebuds oat of her WI bouquets, and had "Pkilopcened” with hint, and sent him embroidered cigar comes, and returned a gentle pressure when he had ventured to aqueexe her hand at parting, and what, we ask the reader, could a girl do more? And atilt in spite of all this, Mr. Tor rington persisted in keeping his love to himself. In vain Aunt tiarepta took her work upstairs, and left the drawing-room free to twilight and the lovers,—in vela Violet put on her prettiest dresses and curled her hair with a special eye to Church Torrington's taste. And old Mr. Purple—whose name wean 't a bad descrip tion of the general hue of his face, began to wonder "what the deuce young Tor rington meant by coming here so much and keeping better men away?" and hint ed very broadly at the propriety of Violet's being more gracious to a certain banker, a friend of his, who was supposed to be specially attracted by the blue gray eyes and the jet-arched brows. And little Violet took to crying of nights on her lace-edged pillows, and de dining a second plate of lobster-salad at (limier; and Aunt tiarepta, a tall, square, maiden lady, who had only recently come up from the country to take charge of her brother's household, scarce knew what to do. ^44 C cr ,t 1:1o, Q b o z g•-4 E-4 1 CD 1 1 r # . .ity for eyes ter LANCASTER, PA., FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1869.

Z. " Violet," quoth the aunty, "what (Jots ail you?" "I don't know, aunt!' daisically.) "How long has Mr. Torrington been visiting here?" • •"I don't know; about three years." "Does he care for you, Violet?: "I don't know, aunt,"-- (blushes red and rosy.) " Do you care for I don't know, aunt.' "Love's proper hue.'' "Then why on earth don't he propose and have done with it?" " I don't know, aunt." This time in a sort of despairing accent. Miss Sarepta Purple set herself to un tangle this Gordian knot of circumstances as she would have charged at a " snarl” in her skeins of mixed yaigt; and when Miss Sarepta set herself about a thing, she was generally in the habit of accomplish- ing if. " I'll go and see him myself," was the result of a long day of meditation on Miss Sarepta's part; "and I won't let Violet know about it neither." Mr. Church Torrington sat in his leath er-covered easy chair looking out a diffi cult case in "l'stoppels," when his clerk announced " A lady;" and on turning ab ruptly round, he encountered the gaze of Miss Sarepta Purple's spectacled orbs. Ile colored scarlet as he dragged forth a chair and stammered out some incoherent sentence or other—for was she not 'Vio let's aunt—the aunt of the fair damsel whom he worshipped afar off and in silence! Thank'ee!' said Miss Purple, deposit ing herself by the chair as one might set down a heavy trunk, A-" I've come on bu siness." Intieed!” " Because," said Miss Sarepta, edging her chair a little nearer that of the young lawyer, " I think it's high time this busi ness was settled!" " What business?" " What business?" echoed Miss Purple, with a belligerent to of her head; "as if the man didn't know well enough what 1 was talking about—why, getting marri ed to be sure!" Mr. Torrington grew a shade or two paler. Was it possible that this ancient maiden still contemplated the probability of matrimony? Had she then selected him for her victim? He looked at the back window—it opened ou a blind alley which led nowhere; he glanced at the door —but Miss Purple's gaunt form effectual ly debarred that means of egress. No— there was nothing but to sit still and face the worst that fate had in store for him. "You see" went on Miss Sarepta, "I ain't blind iii am getting onin years, and I can see as well as anybody what you mean by coming so often to our house. But, still, I think you'd ought to ha' spoke out likr, a man. Pm willing—and don't s'pose my brother 'll object, as you seem to be able to keep a wife!" "You—you are very kind!" stuttered Mr. Torrington. "Is it to be yes or no—about the mar riage, I mean?" " I shall be most happy, I am sure!" fluttered our miserable hero. "Spoke like a man. It's what I knew you meant all the time," cried Aunt Sarepta, rising to her feet and actually depositing an ocular demonstration meant for a kiss on Church's forehead. "I knew I should like you, my boy!" Church startled. This was not exactly etiquette, but the whole matter was really so strange and unprecedented that he hardly knew what to think. "And when will you come around to Brother Jacob's and tell the folks all about it—for I suppose you'd like to tell them yourself? This evening?" "Y—yes, if you say so!" " It's as good a time as any I s' pose. I Of course you won't mention that said anything to you about it? I'd rather it should seem unstudied." "Naturally enough!" thought poor Church. But he Tromised, with a sickly smile; and parted from Miss Purple, al moot shrinking from the vigorous grasp of the hand which she unhesitatingly be stowed upon him. No sooner was Church Torrington alone than the full horror of his position rushed upon him. What had he done? To what had he committed himself? "It serves me right.," he muttered, grinding his teeth, " when I could have won the love of the sweetest little fairy that the sun ever shone on. It was simply idiotic of me to allow a middle-aged ter magant to take possession of me as though I were a cooking stove or a second-hand clock! And she'll marry me, and I shall be .a captive for ILfb, simply because I was too much of a noodle to save myselE Oh, dear, dear! this is a terrible scrape for a poor fellow to get into! But there is no help for it now. If I were to back out, she'd sue me for breach of promise; if I were to cut for Australia, she would follow me there, as sure as Fate! I'm a gone individual—a lost community!" And Church Torrington proceeded straight to the brown-stone mansion where dwelt the inexorable Serepta. Lo and behold! as he rang the door bell, Miss Purple herself opened the door, and mysteriously beckoned him in. "I saw you coming," she said, iu a low, eager tone. " I've been on the look out. Excuse me, my dear, but I really feel as if I must kiss you once more. We're going to be relations, you know!" " Relations! I should think so!" groan ed Church Torrington, taking the kiss as a child would a quinine powder. Miss Sarepta patted him on the shoul der. "Then go in," she said, nodding mys teriously towards the door beyond. "Go in—where?" stammered our be wildered hero. " Why, to Violet, to be sure!" "To Violet! Was it Violet that you meant----" "To be sure it was! Whom did you suppose I meant? 3k?" This last suggestion, hazarded as the wildest improbability by Miss Serepta, called the guilty color up into Church's 1 cheek. "Miss Purple, pardon me," he said, • "but I've been a stupid blockhead; Don't be.angry, as you said we're going to be relations." --( Rat her lacka (More of And lie took the spinster in his arms, and bestowed upon her a kiss which made its predecessor appear but the shadow and Fliost of kisses—a kiss which sounded as if Mr. Church Torrington wont it. "Do behave yourself!" cried Miss Sa repta. "Yes, I'm going to," said Church, and he walked straight into the drawing room, where little Violet was dreaming over an unread book of poems. She started as he entered. "Mr. Torrington, is it you!" "Yes, it is 1," said Church, inspired with new coup ge• " Violet, darling, I love you—will you consent to be my wife?" "Are you in earnest, Church?" " In earnest? it's what I've been want ing to say to you for the last six months, but I have never dared to venture. Come, you will not send me way without an answer. Say yes, darling." " Yes," Violet answered so fitintly, that only true love's ear could have dis cerned the fidtering monosyllable. And Church Torrington ft:lt as if he were the luckiest fellow in all the great metropolis that night. When aunt Sarepta came in, looking very unconscious, to light the gas, Church insisted upon another kiss, greatly to that lady's discomposure. ,For you know very well, tome he said, "ynal ,yet me ttle example." And aunt Sarepta did not look ?Try an gry with him. So they were married with all due flourish of trumpets, and Violet does not know to this day how instrumental the old maiden aunt was in securing her hap piness. tattler Abraham'' Chip.
